How to Make Great Sangria

Love grabbing a glass of sangria from your favorite bar or restaurant? Then you’ll really love the kind you make yourself -and if you’ve never made it before, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to make.

This infographic by WineEnthusiast shows what you need to make your own sangria at home. Keep in mind you don’t need to use all of the ingredients they list, nor do you need to limit yourself to these ingredients either. In fact, my favorite sangria recipe uses equal parts apple juice and orange juice and has tons of apple slices -which really soak up the sweet wine mixture and are delicious to snack on when you finish your beverage. Additionally, you can out rightly skip some of the categories -while fizzing water or lemonade can be great in sangria, you don’t need any mixers at all.

The idea behind sangria is simple: Take some wine and add nice things to it until you can’t resist pouring it all over ice and enjoying with friends. 11 Sinfully Easy Sangria Recipes
